Trump now says ‘collusion is not a crime,’ echoing Giuliani’s defense

Trump, who has long complained about the criminal probe into his White House victory, said the idea that his campaign worked with Moscow was a "Total Hoax" in a series of tweets aimed at undermining the integrity of Special Counsel Robert Mueller's investigation.

"I turned him down to head the Federal Bureau of Investigation (one day before appointment as special counsel) and Comey is his close friend", Mr Trump said. But so far, there haven't been any known formal complaints raised by Trump's legal team as they insist they are still cooperating with Mueller's investigation.
